THEME DAY--"Where do I belong"?

Hmmm....a difficult theme this month, at least for me.  I could have taken it in the literal sense, but because I'm a long-term ex-pat, and have lived for many years here in Belgrade and in France, along with a couple of places in the US before that, it's hard to pick a physical place.  Also, my travels, especially to India, complicated things. I do feel I somehow belong there....and wherever my friends are, I belong.

So......  I decided just to photograph myself. I belong to me, and where I am, I feel like I belong. If one isn't comfortable in one's own skin, then one isn't comfortable or doesn't feel like they belong anywhere.

I'm going to make it a point to check out photos posted by others at THEME DAY.

Old....

This is a shot taken of part of old Belgrade from across the Sava River.  The weather conditions and lighting make the buildings look very decrepit, which sadly, they are....

In the distance can be seen the larger dome of Saint Marko's church and the spire of the Belgrade parliament.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--my apple

Playing around with still lifes....

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--the Tamis River

The Tamiš (TAH-meesh)  is a 339 km long river originating from the southern Carpathian Mountains in Romania. It flows through the Banat region of Serbia andinto the Danube near Pančevo, in northern Serbia, where this photo was taken  last week.

SKYWATCH--smokestack

A smokestack between two trees....as simple as that.  Pancevo, Serbia.

A job I would not like

This of course is a close-up of a fellow removing an advertisement from a building near me....he's on the fifth floor....  I wouldn't like this job.

But I'd probably be  out there watching, too, like the guy on the terrace who is actually watching me...

ABC WEDNESDAY--"G" is for "green"

Green, the color of spring....and some trams here and some bridges....and some reflections...

Bygone days....

Every time I look around at a new chrome and glass apartment building, I feel sorry that old-fashioned doorways and facades are fast disappearing here.....

Hi there!

Caught these girls distributing fruit on Sunday.  Actually one is a vegetable....  :)

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--Open

Nothing unusual about seeing an 'Open' sign, but I've often wondered why they don't put up a neon sign in Serbian.  Anyway, everybody knows what 'open' means.

This doorway is the same one I showed you a few weeks ago.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS-what we do in the trolley bus

Each to  his own pastime in the trolley.  Which one of these people would be you?
